Worksheet 1Name

Guideline for the studies of some linguistic phenomena:

Categories Definition and exampleFor what purpose or effect

do people use them?

Ambiguous words

Euphemisms

Doublespeak

Weasel words

Slang


Categories Definition and exampleFor what purpose or effect do

people use them?

Ambiguous

words

Words that can be interpreted in more than one

way, e.g., an English teacher could be ambiguous

because it could mean a teacher (he may be

Chinese) who teaches English as a school subject.

Or it could mean a teacher from England.

Every one of us is likely to use

them either intentionally (for

aesthetic value) or accidentally

since a large number of words

have more than one meaning.

However, context usually solves

the problem.

Euphemisms

Substitutes for some expressions that may sound

unpleasant in a culture, e.g. pass away for death in

English

People of all social ranks may

use them, but more among polite

circles, or from the mouths of

pretentious people

Doublespeak

The use of language intended to deceive.

Doublespeak frequently renames the world

deceitfully with euphemisms. For example,

pacification programs were used in the Vietnam

War mean large scale of military operations which

resulted in deaths of thousands of civilians and

soldiers. Revenue enhancement is used by some

politicians to mean tax increase

People who hope to cover their

intention or avoid commitment

tend to use this style of language.

Weasel

words

Sly, cunning, and sneaky expressions without

integrity, they are intended to conceal the truth. In

the end they say one thing but mean something

quite different. E.g., an “official” direct mail from

some business informing you that you have won a

free gift worth $1 000. If you send $50 for the

postage and handling fees, you will receive the

free, big prize. But the truth is if you send the

money, either the gift never materializes or what

you get is nothing more than rubbish.

Some writings for political

purposes tend to use them in

slogans.

Some business people tend

to use them in their

commercial promotion

materials, warranties, terms

and etc.conditions in

businesses.

Advertisement writers

Street con men (街头骗子)

Slang

A label applied to nonstandard, conversational,

informal words that are limited usually to use

within a particular group of people or a particular

context. Slang is an uncountable noun; one either

says a slang word, or a slangy expression. E.g.

grass –marihuana; he’s a lucky dog --he is lucky.

Anyone is likely to use

slang when talking with

close friends in informal

situations.

Aspects for Comparison and

Contrast

The guest speaker as called “Dr. Brock” by the narrator

(Suggested points)

The narrator(Suggested points)

1. Relation to writingHow are they related to writing?

Dr. Brock is a medical doctor by profession. But he actively writes and publishes stories in national magazines as an amateur writer.

The narrator makes a living by writing. He is a professional writer.

2. Appearance of the panelHow are they differently dressed for the meeting?

Dr. Brook is dressed up in a bright red jacket, looking vaguely bohemian. (The narrator was being humorous here by describing a non-professional writers attempt to look like a professional one in attire.)

The narrator didn’t mention this point. But it can be inferred that he did not try to impress his audience with what he was wearing.

3. General feeling about writing

What is it like to be a writer?

Writing is easy and fun for the doctor. He can sit down at his desk as soon as he gets home and write away his tension after a day’s work.

Writing is not easy and isn’t fun. It is hard and lonely. Words seldom just flow.

1. Views about the writing process

What are the differences in their viewpoints about the writing process?

Writing does not need rewriting. One should leave one’s writing in its most natural form.

One should try many attempts to write and rewrite until one is satisfied, with what he has written.

2. Dealing with difficulties in writing

How do they overcome emotional barriers to writing?

When the writing is not smooth, Dr. Brook would stop writing and put it aside for a day. Things will go better. . If he suffers emotional problems such as feeling unhappy or depressed, he will go and play sports.

Whatever happens in the process of writing, the narrator will stick to the work, following his schedule.

3. Social life for Dr. Brook thinks it is very The narrator thinks

writersHow do they view the social life of a writer?

important and he enjoys meeting and hanging out with his publishers and agents.

professional writers are lonely men, and they seldom meet other writers.

4. Attitudes towards symbolism

How do they view the role of symbolism in writing?

Dr. Brook enjoys using symbolism in writing. He finds great pleasure in weaving it into his stories. .

He doesn’t like to use symbolism.

Summarize the possible lessons that you or the audience may have learnt from the panel discussion.

The discussion is a revelation both to the guest speakers and to the audience as well. The two speakers are fascinated with each other’s answers. The audience has probably learned that there is a great difference in writing methods. They may conclude from the panel discussion that there is no single method of writing that is suitable for everyone in every situation. Each writing student should search actively for the most appropriate ways of writing for himself/herself.

Another lesson that may be drawn here is that the two speakers exchange their views by disagreeing with each other. This shows that real learning takes place when people are able to embrace diverse viewpoints and perspectives.

Worksheet 3Name Conducting a Survey

Work with your partner to discover information about the following aspects of his/her life.

You may ask the following questions to elicit the information you need.

Rules ReasonsTurn off cell phones in class.

The sound of the phone ringing will disrupt the teaching.

Be quiet when others are speaking.

It is not polite to talk when other people are speaking.

Don’t kick at or slam the door.

It is bad manners to bang or kick at the door. You may damage it. Besides, the noise is disruptive to the teaching and learning environment.

No smoking or drinking in the classroom.

No cheating on exams. It is important to be an honest person.

Add more rules here if you want to.
